Share Hope

sharing hope site The American Cancer Society has a great idea. Instead of just talking about the dark side of the lives of cancer survivors, they want to share stories of hope from people who are fighting the battle. The site allows people to watch videos, to learn more about cancer and the ACS, and most of all, gives people the chance to upload their own videos.

Another cool touch? The ACS has worked with musicians to provide a page of free music to use in mixing your videos.

I got this from the American Cancer Society’s social media rockstar in residence, David Neff. Great guy working for a great cause in an organization that’s working to build a place of sharing.

Check it out for yourself.

    This is a great concept. I seem to remember David saying that they could also post the videos from Sharing Hope to other sites like Facebook and the like. Great idea.

    This is such an uplifting campaign and idea by the folks at ACS to help truly empower their constituents! It’s always nice to see examples of digital and social media used to further great causes. And what a great idea to not only allow others to upload these videos, but to also post them to other sites. Best of luck to you David!

    Thanks Chris. We have two family members and a dear friend in the hospital battling cancer right now. My wife asked me last night, “why does it seem like everyone is suffering with cancer?” I just really wonder what happens to the millions and millions of dollars that go into cancer R&D, doesn’t it seem like we should have better detection & drugs at this point.

    Something just doesn’t seem right….anyway, thanks for sharing this. I am taking my uncle a Lance Armstrong wristband today, it’s the little things.

    This is SO awesome. So often, people (and, unfortunately, many nonprofits) use fear & despair to motivate, when, IMHO, stories of hope are vastly more inspiring. And the tools that support it are pure genius – congrats Dave! Have you approached Moby to use the works from mobygratis.com?

    Another similar sharing site is http://www.caringbridge.com, which offers free sites for people (not just with cancer) to post updates, receive guestbook notices, etc. Doesn’t seem that they’ve branched into the video portion, but do offer photo uploads. Good use of social networks and social media during very difficult times. Thanks for passing along.
